Bradley Cooper Gossip

The question, when watching Serena, is “Where did this go wrong?” Shot in 2012, it re-teamed proven screen couple Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence for an adaptation of Ron Rash’s novel directed by Susanne Bier, an award-winning Danish filmmaker. There’s a lot of talent on both sides of the camera in Serena, so why did it sit on the shelves for three years before getting a hasty, barely-there release? Answer: “Because it’s a mess featuring bad performances. Full Story

Three years in a row now. And he’s working with David O Russell and Jennifer Lawrence again on Joy, which is currently in production. Joy is supposed to open on Christmas Day. That means they think it has awards potential. So Bradley Cooper could be back for a fourth consecutive nomination. Sometimes I have a really hard time believing this. Full Story

The new Cameron Crowe movie…
For a while there it had no title. Now that it has a trailer, it has to have a title:

So. Yeah. The name is sh-t. But the cast. This cast!

Rachel McAdams
John Krasinski
Bill Murray
Alec Baldwin

Danny McBride
This should not be a problem. Full Story

American Sniper broke all kinds of records at the box office this weekend, right after the film was nominated for several Oscars. And it’s not a headline that Oscar voters would have missed. Which means it’s not a legitimate contender for Best Picture. And maybe don’t count out Bradley Cooper for Best Actor. You don’t think he’ll just concede to Michael Keaton, do you?

Not paying attention to the facts of the story clearly didn’t hurt Murica Sniper’s appeal. The filmmakers will tell you that the point of the movie is to expose the hard toll of war on everyone. But they’ve also helped glorify someone who – it’s been proven time and again, click here Read Full Intro

Bradley Cooper just took out Jake Gyllenhaal for a Best Actor Oscar nomination this morning. It’s his 3rd Oscar nomination in a row. This is what happens when you work with Clint Eastwood.
Last week, I wrote an article called “Dark Horse Bradley CooperFull Story

The Directors Guild of America announced its nominations today. The DGA’s selections are said to be good indicators of what the Academy is thinking and the eventual winner has a very, very good chance of being Oscar’s Best Director.
So here are the five:
Wes Anderson, The Grand Budapest Hotel
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, Birdman
Richard Linklater, Boyhood
Morten Tyldum, The Imitation Game
Clint Eastwood, American Sniper
Always with the Clint Eastwood, you know. Full Story

Right now, Bradley Cooper’s not part of the Best Actor Oscar talk. Not yet, anyway. Right now, according to experts, it’s breaking down like this:
Michael Keaton
Benedict Cumberbatch
Eddie Redmayne
And then…
David Oyelowo
Steve Carell
Jake Gyllenhaal
But Selma lost some momentum today being left off the list of Producers Guild nominations. Full Story

Much like Jake Gyllenhaal (for Nightcrawler), Bradley Cooper is currently off the conventional Oscar circuit (for American Sniper) and is making a starring turn on Broadway in The Elephant Man until February.
I saw The Elephant Man last week – B. Coops was incredible in it. His scene partner Patricia Clarkson outshined him, but that’s hardly a reflection of his talent or complete immersion in the role. Full Story

Here's Bradley Cooper arriving in London. Hair's getting long.
Since the American Sniper trailer came out people have now added it to the Oscar long list of contenders. That happens any time Clint Eastwood directs a movie. He's not young anymore, that guy. And it'll be his second directorial release this year. Full Story

Bradley Cooper is shooting a movie in New Orleans. Suki Waterhouse is there with him. She went shopping yesterday and also visited him on set where they were photographed having a conversation. That’s the most neutral way to describe it. And, probably, the most accurate.
But let’s play our favourite game anyway: Photo Assumption, drawing unreliable conclusions based simply on how people look in pictures. Full Story

Now here’s someone who would never, ever trash-talk Leonardo DiCaprio. Or risk excommunication. Check out Bradley Cooper in a leather bomber at the Hollywood premiere of Guardians Of The Galaxy last night. As Sarah’s been saying, his Rocket Raccoon almost steals the movie. His voice performance in the role is said to be outstanding. Full Story

Last night Marvel offered a seventeen minute sneak peek of Guardians of the Galaxy in IMAX 3D. They screened the prison break/riot scene featured in the trailers, plus sizzle reels of new footage. It was a good choice to get people hooked—the prison scene is really funny with great action, and it very neatly lays out who these people are, what they want, and why they band together. Full Story

In the royal box at Wimbledon.
As post time, the marquee match is still happening. Roger Federer brings out a lot of stars, and Anna Wintour.
Does Suki Waterhouse seem…kinda overdressed? I mean, deliberately dressed. To be photographed. Rolling my eyes now.
Suki and Bradley Cooper were seated next to Bear Grylls. Full Story

Very strong turnout at the Serpentine Gallery Summer Party last night in London. I do love the British star system. It gets super low classy at times but at least it’s robust – they make celebrities out of randoms who get super famous there, but only there. And those are the people who serve as carpet fillers whenever there’s an event. Full Story
